Halloween Party Deal

It's been a long time since I have been to a Halloween party.  Sometimes I get to go as a chauffeur, which is what I did this year.  I volunteered to take Teresa to a community center that promised to have a non-scary dance.  The same community center sponsored one years ago that included a haunted house and it wasn't so fun.  I trusted them when they said it would be non-scary.

So, being a good chauffeur, we found a local costume shop and lo and behold, Teresa became a roaring twenties flapper girl. 

We went to the party and saw the refreshment table.  It had a 5-gallon jug of water and something on a tray that extended the length of the table.  Curiously, Teresa and I walked over to the table to see what the evening's refreshment had and it was a very long swirly chocolate cake.  In the shape of a snake.  A chocolate snake.  A fifteen foot foot long chocolate snake.

It was covered in saran wrap and it was accompanied by a man standing by it saying "don't touch".

So after four cups of water, and watching everyone do the Monster Mash, I made a deal with Teresa.  We could stay at the party and hope that we would get a piece of chocolate cake at some point in the evening, perhaps after many others had rushed ahead of us in line, or..... I would be honored to escort her to Denny's for a hot fudge sundae right now.

With smiles on both of our faces, off we went.  That was a very good day.
